ABSTRACT
This manual for physicians describes a system for the treatment of primary and secondary vibration disease in mining workers optimized for the duration of therapy including the application of preformed and natural factors. The efficacy of the proposed complex of therapeutic and preventive measures in this category of patients has been estimated based on the results of retrospective and prospective studies.

The study involving 185 patients with vibration disease and concomitant osteoarthrosis has demonstrated the positive influence of pulsed low-frequency currents in combination with hydrogen sulphide baths on the clinical course of the disease. This combined therapy produced good immediate and late post-treatment results. The data obtained suggest high efficiency of differential application of complex-modulated pulsed and fluctuating currents in patients with vibration disease. It is concluded that amplipulse therapy is the method of choice for the management of this pathology in the absence of apparatuses emitting pulsed currents in the running way regime.

The authors present results of homeostasis studies in 239 patients having vibration disease due to local vibration and demonstrate drugs-free correction (physio- and balneotherapy) of disorders caused by vibration. High therapeutic efficiency meant improved peripheral hemodynamics of upper limbs, coagulation parameters, lipid metabolism and lipid peroxidation.

Cardiovascular tests in vibraton disease patients revealed failure of efferent vegetative paths. Degree of segmentary neurologic disorders increases as vibration disease progresses.
